i should be studying chemistry. because there is spa tomorrow. but i really can't bring myself to care anymore. part of my brain says, "it's ok, let the school stress more if we aren't doing well in chemistry." i wonder if they care in the first place?
god, the irony of it all. wholistic education yadayadayada... if there's any school that never follows what it says, it's our school. our school has a history of twisting everything such that they fool us into getting their way.
"developing potentials and talents". nope, not really. i've never really understood why we have to go through trials to get into CCA, congress and all the leadership position. sure, it helps to narrow down those who can benefit the organization/club. but since when do the sch have a right to say that some people don't have enough of the leadership skills/quality to make it into the PSB etc? what happened to developing talents and developing a student's potential? yeah someone may suck at badminton or what not, but with hardwork and dedication, that person can be a wonderful player. potential turn into talent. not all is about winning the gold medal and bringing home the challenge trophy. sure we'd love to make the school proud; raise its name. but i think it's time we start doing it for the right reasons.
and all the talk about sportsmanship, generousity and humbleness goes to nothing if what the school is all about is the oh-so prestigious name, the glam and the spotlight (literally). and the irony of collecting ORA funds. quote "we should remember that during this times of economic crisis, there are those who need our help". somewhere along those lines. and here we are, celebrating our 130th anniversary tomorrow, with props that amount to don't know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars. seriously, a light that causes about 10 k each? and how many lights do we have? how about many. plus the pretty pretty costumes that cost a few hundred per costume? yeah, way to go being compassionate during times of economic crisis.
if there's a reason why singapore would go bankrupt one day, i suppose it will be rgs celebrating their 150th anniversary. maybe they'd fly the whole sch to the moon.

hmmm...i wonder if whatever i've said is actually banned here. too bad.
